you hit all the switches at once and say you're not telling the answer
when in fact you don't know

How about turn one on for a few minutes. Turn it off. At this point it
is hot from being on (unless it's one of those energy efficient bulbs
that don't heat up!). Turn on the next switch. Go downstairs.
The one that's hot was controlled by the first switch. The one that's on
is controlled by the second switch. The third (cool and off) bulb is
controlled by the third switch.
This is probably one of many solutions, but it's the only one I could
think of if we have no way to visually deduce which is which.
Or maybe this is just a trick question!!! :P

I did a search on Google and the answer to this logic problem is all
over the place. Plus, there's some real good ones out there! Check 'em
all out.
At first I used "three light bulb logic problem," then I just used
"brain teaser logic problem".
